Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Jobim essentially weaponized Brazilian saudade for global export—this 1986 set captures him at the exact moment bossa had become world heritage rather than trend.
The Montreal Jazz Festival crowd had no idea they'd be witnessing one of Jobim's final filmed performances; he'd record only one more album before his 1994 death.
